Fortunately, southwestern Pennsylvania is once again poised to lead the country into a new 21st Century vision for national security. The booming production of natural gas in the Marcellus Shale is lowering carbon emissions, and safely extracted it could provide a bridge to the energy choices of the future. Then, the next generation of clean energy will be developed in laboratories, like Pittsburghs NETL, implemented by companies like PPG or Westinghouse, supported by leading non-profit foundations, and fed by the energy of nationally-ranked universities.
The American Security Project (ASP) is a nonpartisan organization created to educate the American public and the world about the changing nature of national security in the 21st Century. Gone are the days when a nations security could be measured by bombers and battleships. Security in this new era requires harnessing all of Americas strengths: the force of our diplomacy; the might of our military; the vigor and competitiveness of our economy; and the power of our ideals. We believe that America must lead in the pursuit of our common goals and shared security. We must confront international challenges with our partners and with all the tools at our disposal and address emerging problems before they become security crises. And to do this we must forge a bipartisan consensus here at home. ASP brings together prominent American business leaders, former members of Congress, retired military flag officers, and prominent former government officials. ASP conducts research on a broad range of issues and engages and empowers the American public by taking its findings directly to them via events, traditional & new media, meetings, and publications. We live in a time when the threats to our security are as complex and diverse as terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, energy challenges, and our economic wellbeing. Partisan bickering and age old solutions simply wont solve our problems. America and the world - needs an honest dialogue about security that is as robust as it is realistic. ASP exists to promote that dialogue, to forge that consensus, and to spur constructive action so that America meets the challenges to its security while seizing the opportunities that abound.
